Poison dart frogs live in the rainforest. They produce a poison by eating toxic fire ants. The only known predator is a snake, Liophis epinephelus. Which is most likely a density-independent factor that affects the poison dart population in the rainforest? clear cutting the rainforest limited food source susceptibility to disease increase in population of Liophis epinephelus

Respuesta :

Oseni

Answer:

Clear-cutting the rainforest

Explanation:

Density-independent factors of a population are factors that limit the size of a population irrespective of the density of the population.

A limited food source can only be defined by the size of a population, diseases will spread faster in high-density populations, and an increase in the population of a predator will cause a decrease in the population size of the predator's prey.

Clear-cutting of the rainforest means automatic destruction of the habitat of the poison dart frog's population, no matter the population size. Hence, clear-cutting of the rainforest is considered as the density-independent factor in this case.
